Accreditation
Independent Organizational Accreditation for Workforce Protection in Trauma-Exposed Public Safety Environments
FRBH accreditation affirms that an organization has established governance-embedded workforce protection systems designed to manage occupational psychological hazard exposure in alignment with the FRBH National Standard.
What Accreditation Is
FRBH accreditation is an organizational determination — not a clinical evaluation.
Accreditation evaluates governance architecture, organizational safeguards, workforce protection systems, and exposure-informed operational processes rather than individual programs, clinicians, providers, or personnel.
Accredited organizations demonstrate formally documented and operationally embedded systems designed to manage occupational psychological hazard exposure within trauma-exposed work environments.
Accreditation Term
Accreditation is granted for a three-year term and remains contingent upon continued conformity with FRBH requirements and governance standards.
Continued conformity may be subject to periodic review in accordance with documented FRBH policy and oversight procedures.

Participation in behavioral health services remains voluntary for individual responders.
Accreditation Status
FRBH reserves the authority to suspend, revoke, deny, or modify accreditation status in accordance with documented governance procedures where conformity with the FRBH National Standard is not maintained.
